A Most Deserving Rescue - Hugh!

Hugh is a wonderful cat who frequented a very busy Community Cat feeding station for over 2 years. A kind lady had been feeding him and said that this was the second winter that Hugh had been on the streets. She reached out for help with Hugh when she noticed a nasty wound on his leg that was causing him to limp and causing pain. Nevertheless, he always was happy to see her and accept some food. At this point, he was taken into care and we were fortunate that a foster home stepped up to care for him.

Hugh at vet clinic having injury assessed

Everything is coming up roses for Hugh since his rescue. He did have a bit of an ordeal with stitches, a drainage tube and a cone to help him recover from his injury. Hugh was a good patient but he did take some time to recover from his serious injury. Suture removal was delayed due to slow healing. Still, the sweet guy prevails!

Hugh recovering in foster care

This sweet and handsome fellow endured time on the street that no tame cat should have to endure. He has proven to be an incredibly sweet and grateful cat and we have high hopes that he will land in a forever home soon. Check out his cuddles with his feline friend!

We are grateful to Hugh’s rescuer and foster family for making his chance at the good life possible. As always, please visit the Regina Cat Rescue website to adopt, donate, or volunteer: Regina Cat Rescue

Event Volunteers Wanted!

We need you to volunteer at events at Mosaic Stadium, including Saskatchewan Roughrider home games!

Thirty Regina Cat Rescue (RCR) volunteers work each event at Mosaic Stadium in the Western Pizza concession booth on the main concourse. This is a valuable, consistent source of funds for RCR which enables us to pay for veterinary care for Regina's abandoned cats and kittens.

Volunteer just a few hours of your time and you'll be making a significant contribution to RCR. Please email us if you're able to volunteer at stadium events this season!

Volunteer duties include setting up the concession, serving pizza, drinks and other concession items, taking payments and giving change to patrons, and closing down the concession. Shifts are approximately 5 to 6.5 hours in length.

Volunteers must be 19 years or older, as volunteers will be pouring or selling alcohol (there is a limit of three underage volunteers per shift to serve as runners).

Special Occasion Responsible Service (SORS)

SORS is an online course required of all volunteers who serve or sell alcohol as part of an unpaid special occasion position (such as events at Mosaic). Without the course you can still volunteer at these events, but won’t be able to work the cash register and/or serve alcohol. We need a minimum number of volunteers who can work the cash register and/or serve alcohol, so it’s a great benefit to RCR if you complete it. Here are the details:

• Find out more information and register for the course at https://stec.skillbuilder.co/catalog/special-occasion-responsible-service

• The online course takes approximately 1 hour to complete.

• Enter the code VOLUNTEER (in all caps) when purchasing the course and the fee will be waived.

• When completing your registration, identify the organization as Regina Cat Rescue.

• Once completed, please email a screen shot or photo of your certificate to volunteerwp@reginacatrescue.com.

• Certificates are valid for five years.

Other stadium events like concerts, other sporting events, etc. also require volunteers. You can stay informed about these opportunities by joining the RCR Volunteer Group, subscribing to our ebulletin or emailing our volunteer coordinators.

A big thank you to Spiro and the team at Western Pizza for providing RCR with this valuable fundraising opportunity.
